Travel and Live Vegan in Italy

Vegan Panettone

Panettone is a traditional soft cake dessert in the region of Milan, Lombardy, but can be found everywhere around Italy during the Christmas holidays. It is the big holiday treat that everyone wants! You will notice it by its large, sweet, bread like appearance. There is Panettone with raisins, without raisins, chocolate, vanilla, powdered sugar, plain, just about every flavor.

Unfortunately, what you will find in the supermarkets or even fresh bakeries, is not vegan friendly.

There is one website we found where you can buy vegan panettone. Shipment is only within Italy. It is 9 Euro for a 750 gram panettone.

Mix the flour, corn or tapioca starch, cane sugar, hazelnut paste, orange juice and orange peel together. Put the yeast into a bowl and add tepid ricemilk. Then add the raisins. Pour the mix into a oil covered brownie pan that is lightly dusted with flour. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 2.5-3 hours. Then bake in a preheated oven at 350F for 45 minutes.
Once its cooled, remove the panettone from the pan, flip it upside down. Melt the ingredients for the glaze together on low flame for a few minutes. When finished, cover the panettone with the chocolate glaze and ENJOY!!
